MAUKIAUK CKKKMON1K9.
The ancient practice of marriage by
capture,which has loft some t races even
In our customs ami sports notably in
that popular game of kiss-in-the-iing,
a mimic representation of the great
game of marriage- tin Is mmy iilustrations
in Mongol life. Kubru inis,
who visited the hordes of Tartary,
and was entertaine 1 in t.he tent of Uio
immediate successors of Ycngnis
Khan, describes a Mongol marriage
thus:?
Therefore, when any man hath bargained
with another for a mai l, the
father of a damsel makes hint a feast;
in tho meantime she flics away to
sonio of her kinsfolk to hide herself.
Then the father says to the bridegroom,
"My daughter is yours; take
her wheresoever you can find her."
Then ho and his friends see): her till
they find her, and having found her,
he takes her by force ami carries hor
a ^ \ v.
n> his own nouse.
This simple l'orm of marriage contract
is still preserved araon? the
Koraks and Tehuctchus, tribes of
northeastern Siberia. There tlie damsel
is pursued by her admirer, and
hides herself among the polgos, or
cabins ma le of skins, v. hi 'h lonn the
internal compartments of tlmir dwellings.
The won,,,M,-,bvi py-dst. her in
her pretended evasion, and not. till
tiie bridegroom 1ms caught his bride,
and left the impression of his i;ng? rnail
upon her tender skin is the Letrothal
completed.
The analogous customs In nnclmit
Tioman meninges here strike one with
tiie myth of the rape of the ftabines;
but wo need not go so far away. The
customs of a Welsh wedding-, up to a
very recent date, include 1 a mimic
pursuit of the bride by the bridegroom,
both on horseback; and even
in our English manner, when the
bridegroom invariably goes to seek
bis bride on the wedding morn. Hut.
the value of womankind in a ) nstoinl
life, where there is bo much for her to
do in the way of milking, cheese, and
butter making, and so on, brings a
further element into the relationship.
A price must bo paid for tiie future
companion, and the wedding portion
enters largely into the question.
A inoro modern Mongol wedding is
described by Iluc, that most amusing
of Jesuit fathers. The religious ceremonies
are thoso of buddhism. The
marriage is arranged by t tie parents,
who settle the dower that is to be
paid to the father of the bride by
LueaDS of meditators. When the eontract
lias been concluded, the fattier
of tiro bridegroom, accompanied by
bis nearest relatives, carries the news
to the family of the bride. They prostrate
themselves before the domestic
altar, and offer up a boiled sheep's
head, milk, and a sash of white silk.
During the repast all the relations of
the bride receive a piece of money,
which they deposit in a vase tilled
with wine made of fermented milk,
(wo have, or hail, a similar custom of
hiding a ring or money in the wedding
cake,) tho father of the bride
drinks tho milk and keeps the money.
Tho lamas, or priests, tlx an auspicious
day, when the bridegroom sends a
deputation to escort the bride. There
is a feigned opposition to the departure
of tho brido, who is placed 011 a
horse, and led three times (note the
three mystic circles) round the paternal
house, and then taken at full gallop
to the tent prepared for the purpose
near the dwelling of her fatherin-law.
All tho Tartars of (lie neigh
borhood repair to the wed ling-feasl
end offer their presents, which eon
sist of beasts and eatables. These gc
to the father of tho bridegroom, am
often recoup him the sum he has pair
for the son's bride, lt.it hor a shame,
ono would think, of that selfish papa,
did wo not rcllect that he will have U:
support his son and daughter, or al
nil events set them up with sheej
uud cattle from his iloeksand herds.
REMAKKAliLE I'KOl'LE IN CHINA.
There is in China a remarkable poo
pie known as "tho nameless soi l.'
They profess "an old religion," wiiiel
prevails moroor less all over China, bu
especially in tho province of Mhung
tung. J)islikod and persecuted by tin
civil authorities, they have for a Ion;
time endeavored to keep their belief
and practices secret. Their leiigioi
Is said to have como from tho West
whence they also expect a deliverer
They do not worship idols. At tin
closo of their religious services the
have a meal, of which bread and win
form tiic greater part. It is though
that they maybe tho remnant of ih
native churches planted centuries ag
in China by Nestorian missionaries
who are said to have preached th
Gospel for nearly a thousand year
through Southern and Middle Asi,
with marvellous energy and suce*'s>
and to have exerted a powerful intiu
encein China for upward of six hundre
years, from tho seventh to the thii
teenth century.
